Amore Inaspettato

Capitolo 29

"How are you feeling?" Vitto asked as Ginevra walked up to the group.

"I'm better," Ginevra smiled.

"I was sad you didn't get to come with us the other night," Cami said, "I was hoping we'd get to hang out."

"Yeah sorry. I wasn't feeling very good," Ginevra said. She looked over at Nicco who was staring back at her.

"Well I'm glad you're feeling better," Vitto said pulling her in to kiss her temple.

"Hey," Chiara said walking up beside Brando. Ginevra couldn't help but cringe when they kissed. This whole thing still made no sense to her.

"Hey, Chiara. Can I talk to you?" Ginevra asked.

"Sure," Chiara nodded.

"I'll see you later?" Ginevra said looking up at Vitto.

"Yeah. You still coming over tonight?" Vitto asked. Ginevra nodded her head before pressing a kiss to his lips. She couldn't help but catch Nicco's gaze as she walked off with Chiara.

"What's up?" Chiara asked.

"I think you know," Ginevra said making Chiara sigh, "Why in the world are you dating Brando?"

"It's complicated," Chiara said.

"How complicated?" Ginevra asked.

"Like really complicated," Chiara said, "Let's just say Brando has something on me on his phone. I can't let it get out."

"Like Ludovica video bad?" Ginevra asked.

"Worse," Chiara said.

"Chiara," Ginevra said stopping and putting her hand on her arm.

"I don't know what to do," Chiara said.

"Well you have to get into his phone and delete it," Ginevra said.

"He has a password," Chiara reminded.

"I can try and get it for you," Ginevra said.

"You think Vitto knows it?" Chiara asked.

"No, but I know who might," Ginevra said.

Ginevra stood outside of the house with her phone pressed to her ear. It was late so she didn't want to risk knocking. "Hello," a groggy voice said.

"Hey. Can you come outside?" Ginevra asked.

"Ginevra? It's like midnight," they replied, "What are you doing here?"

"I just...I need to talk to you," she said, "Can you please just come outside."

"I'll be there in a second," the person said before hanging up the phone. Ginevra put her phone in her pocket as she waited. A few seconds later she heard the door click open. She looked up seeing Nicco standing there sleepy eyed wearing plaid pajama pants and no shirt. She forced herself to look up at his eyes.

"What are you doing here?" Nicco asked shutting the front door.

"I needed to talk to you," Ginevra said.

"All right?" Nicco said.

"Do you know Brando's phone password?" Ginevra asked.

"What?" Nicco said.

"Do you know Brando's phone password?" She repeated.

"Yeah. Why?" Nicco asked.

"I need it," Ginevra said.

"Why?" Nicco asked.

"That's not important," Ginevra said.

"I'm not just gonna give you his password if you're not gonna tell me why," Nicco said.

"Well, I can't tell you why because I don't fully know why," Ginevra said, "But let's just say Brando has something on his phone that needs to be deleted."

"Is this about Chiara?" Nicco asked.

"Can you just trust me and not ask questions?" Ginevra asked. Nicco crossed his arms looking at the girl. He wasn't sure if he should give her the password or not.

"Fine," Nicco said, "Last I knew it was 2006."

"Thank you," Ginevra said turning to walk back to her house.

"Ginevra wait," Nicco said catching her wrist to stop her, "Have you thought any more about the other day?"

"Nicco," she whined, "It's late and I don't want to do this right now."

"No. I gave you what you asked for and didn't ask any questions," Nicco said, "Please talk to me."

"Things are complicated," Ginevra said.

"How so?" Nicco asked.

"Because I'm dating Vitto," Ginevra said, "I'm not just going to dump him because you think you're in love with me."

"I don't think I'm in love with you Ginevra," Nicco said, "I know I'm in love with you."

"I'm sorry but that doesn't change things," Ginevra said. She could see the tears forming in the corner of his eyes.

"Tell me you don't love me," Nicco said.

"What?" Ginevra asked.

"Tell me you don't love me and I'll leave you alone," Nicco said. Ginevra went to open her mouth but shut it again. "See you can't even tell me you don't love me!"

"I'm dating Vitto," Ginevra said.

"And I was dating Virginia," Nicco said, "That doesn't mean I didn't have feelings for you!"

"I can't do this right now," Ginevra said taking a step back.

"Tell me you don't love me and I'll stop pursuing this," Nicco said stepping toward her.

"I can't," Ginevra said, "I'm not going to choose between you two."

"Maybe this will help you decide," Nicco said. Ginevra looked up to ask what he meant. Before she could say anything Nicco's lips smashed into hers. It was cliche to say but it felt like she was floating in the clouds. Nicco grabbed her hips and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. Ginevra's hands came up and tangled in his hair. This kiss felt like no kiss she'd ever experienced before. Not even like other kisses the two had shared. "I love you so much," Nicco mumbled into her lips.

Ginevra's eyes shot open as she pulled away from the boy. Her lips tingled at the loss of his touch. "I can't," Ginevra said.

"Ginevra, please," Nicco spoke.

"I have to go," Ginevra said. Before Nicco could say anything else she turned and ran toward her house. She could hear him calling her name but didn't stop until she got to her front door. Her dad was asleep so she quietly walked to her room. When she shut her door she pressed her back against it trying to catch her breath. She brought her shaky hands up to touch her lips.

Ginevra had no idea how she felt about the events that just occurred but she did know two things. She needed to talk to Vitto and she was now more confused than ever about where she stood in her relationship.
